Chapter Seventy-Eight: Treacherous Schemes

The New Year is approaching, after the business of Cuiyun Building stabilizes, Jiang Shu will be handed over to Yu Yuan and the shopkeeper to take care of, she accompanies Jiang's mother at home to do New Year's goods, and directs her subordinates to sweep the house.

Jiang Ning's school was on vacation, and he followed them every day to help joke, and the atmosphere was joyful and harmonious, and there were bursts of laughter from time to time.

On the seventeenth day of the lunar month, the weather was gloomy and extremely cold.

Jiang Shu wore a Shu brocade cotton coat, a fox fur cloak, and a soup woman in his hand, and his pretty face was still cold when the wind blew.

Jiang Ning was not as afraid of the cold as Jiang Shu, but he was not so good that he complained: "On such a cold day, what kind of birthday banquet will you hold and freeze to death." ”

Today is Jiang Yun's birthday, and I invited relatives to celebrate the excitement.

After getting into the carriage, Jiang Shu handed the soup woman in his hand to Jiang Ning: "Give you warmth." ”

Jiang Ning shook his head: "Sister carry it herself, I'm a man, don't worry about it." ”

"Ning'er has really grown up." Jiang's mother smiled with a look of relief.

"Yes, I'm grown up and can protect my sister and mother." Jiang Ning looked juvenile and proud.

Father Jiang deliberately asked with a straight face: "What about your father?"

"Dad and I will protect Sister and Mother together." Jiang Ning replied wittily.

"Hahaha......"

A family of four rode in the same carriage, although it was a little crowded, but they were very happy to talk and laugh.

When they arrived at Jiang Yun's house, Jiang Shu and Jiang Ning first followed Jiang's father and Jiang's mother to greet their elders, and then went to play with their brothers and sisters in the family.

Because it is his own family, he is not so particular, and several cousins and cousins of Jiang Yun's mother's family get together to play.

There was a charcoal fire in the house, which was much warmer than outside, Jiang Shu untied his cloak and was pulled by Jiang Yun to play a game.

"Let's count Sister Shu as the richest, you don't have to let her."

"What is not allowed to be allowed, each depends on his ability, my sister won, and you don't want to cheat."

A room full of young people playing and laughing, and the atmosphere was quite harmonious.

After luncheon, the group sat in the house drinking tea and discussing what to play in the afternoon.

"We're bored in the house, let's go play in the garden."

"But it's so cold outside today, and the people are very cold."

"What are you afraid of, let's go play with the pitcher, and our hands and feet will warm up after playing for a while."

The minority obeyed the majority, and the group put on their cloaks and went to the garden.

The winter garden has long been devoid of flowers, and only a few osmanthus trees are still green.

Jiang Shu played with them for a while, feeling a little bored.

Jiang Yun glanced at her and pretended to say casually: "There are a few plum trees in the back garden, they just bloomed in the past few days, and we can go to enjoy the plum trees when we get tired of playing later." ”

When Jiang Shu heard this, he glanced at Jiang Ning, who was playing energetically, and went to the back garden alone.

Jiang Yun kept watching Jiang Shu's movements, and when she saw that Jiang Shu really went to the back garden, she gave her cousin Lin Rui a look.

Lin Rui was a little nervous, glanced at the crowd of people playing, and after seeing that no one was paying attention to him, he tiptoed towards Jiang Shu who was walking away.

Today is an excellent time, if it happens, then he will be the Jiang family's fast son-in-law, and the whole family can follow him to enjoy wealth after soaring.

He no longer has to envy other people's fine clothes and food, he can only cloth clothes and vegetarian food. No longer have to shrink back in the winter cold, but still have to find a way to make a living. Not to mention that when you are doing New Year's goods at home, you are still writing Spring Festival couplets to people to earn a few copper coins.

What's more, with money, his mother can ask a famous doctor to take good medicine.

There was no one in the back garden, only a few plum trees blooming alone.

Jiang Shu sniffed the fragrance of plums and quickened his pace to approach.

Looking at the proud plum blossoms, Jiang Shu tiptoed and reached out to pull down the low-hanging plum branches, wanting to break one back.

Lin Rui approached lightly, planning to pounce on Jiang Shu from behind to hug her while she was unprepared.

As long as a woman loses her honor, she can only marry him.

The secret guard hidden in the shadows saw this scene from a distance and was in a hurry, and popped out a stone to Lin Rui's feet.

"Plop!" Lin Rui stepped on the rolling stone and fell.

The loud sound startled Jiang Shu, who folded the flowers, and hurriedly looked back.

"Young Master Lin?" Jiang Shu was slightly surprised.

After she saw the distance between Lin Rui and her, and glanced at it to see that no one else was coming, she suddenly understood Lin Rui's intentions.

Xing's eyes immediately turned cold, and Jiang Shu asked angrily, "What do you want to do?"

"I ......" Lin Rui got up in a little panic, looked at Jiang Shu, who was as beautiful as a fairy, and said fiercely: "I want to marry you." ”

When the words fell, he rushed towards Jiang Shu, wanting to hug her.

Jiang Shu hurriedly dodged and dodged behind the plum blossom tree.

Lin Rui said while chasing: "Miss Jiang, I have admired you for a long time, and I don't dislike you for marrying someone." As long as you marry me, I will definitely be good to you. ”

What he admires is the Jiang family's money!

Jiang Shuqiao's face was cold, and she quickly thought about countermeasures in her mind.

If she ran out like this, even if she was lucky enough to escape and was not caught up, but people could see Lin Rui chasing after her, and she had gotten along with each other in the back flower courtyard alone, coupled with Lin Rui's contempt, she couldn't tell it even if she was covered with mouth.

"Lin Gongzi, since you really admire it, you shouldn't do such a shameless act." Jiang Shu tried to stabilize Lin Rui.

Lin Rui stopped and struggled: "I don't want to, but when my cousin said that she asked me for me, you refused with all her mouths, and if you ask to marry you openly, you will not agree, so you can only make this decision." ”

Jiang Yun!

Jiang Shu gritted his teeth with hatred in his heart, but said calmly and calmly on his face: "She lied to you." ”

Lin Rui was stunned: "What do you mean?" Could it be that Miss Jiang, you are interested in me?"

Thinking of this, Lin Rui was overjoyed and wanted to get close to Jiang Shu.

Jiang Shu took a step back and raised his hand to stop: "You stop and let's talk, otherwise I will die head-on." ”

Seeing her ruthless and resolute face, Lin Rui was afraid that she would kill her, so she had to agree if she stole chickens and rice.

Jiang Shu took a deep breath, squeezed his hands and calmed down: "Sister Yun did mention you to me, but my answer at the time was that I had no intention of returning home for the time being. ”

"Have you ever wondered why I made peace with Jing'an?"

Lin Rui didn't understand what she was doing when she suddenly mentioned this, but he was also curious: "Why?"

"Because I can't get pregnant." Jiang Shu is serious nonsense.

Lin Rui was stunned when he heard this.

It is indeed a big mistake for a woman not to be pregnant, and it is natural to be rejected by Jing'an Hou.

If he marries her, he will have wealth and wealth, but the children will ......

Seeing that Lin Rui was somewhat relieved, Jiang Shu persuaded: "If you really want to marry a wife, why don't you marry Jiang Yun?"

"Cousin Yun, she doesn't like me." Lin Rui had an embarrassed look on his face.

It's not that he didn't think about marrying Jiang Yun, but he was rejected.

Although Jiang Yun's family is far less wealthy than Jiang Shu's family, it is enough for ordinary people to live.

"Then she would have to agree." Jiang Shu is kind and seductive.

"If you want to marry her, I can help you."

Lin Rui looked at Jiang Shu, a little struggling and hesitating.

Jiang Shu made persistent efforts: "I can retreat from the Jing'an Hou Mansion, do you think you can hold me?"

"Instead of a bamboo basket for nothing, it's better to grab what you can."

"How can you help me?" Lin Rui was finally shaken.

Compared with Jiang Shu, Jiang Yun is simple-minded and indeed better controlled.
